Whirlwind
Everything's been so surreal lately. The world around me is moving so fast, but it feels like time's been slowed down only for me.
Sorry I didn't post for a few days. I guess I sort of forgot this thing was here.
[Private (I guess Sora can see)]
This isn't just a throwaway world, an obstacle to be overcome on the way home. It's not like that anymore. This place is serious. This must be the reason I wound up here, instead of continuing my journey with Mickey. This must be why I'm here.
They smell the same, but they aren't the same. Not at all. Even the Neo-Heartless in Castle Oblivion weren't like this; I could see them, for one, and they did smell different. They were stronger in the castle, but this new version attacks differently. I tried to analyze their style, but it's damned hard when I can't even see them. Sora said that he could sort of make them out. I wonder why I can't?
It's been three days now, and I still don't know what to do about Rukia. She saw us fight a little against Archer, but the Heartless situation was much more intense, and I'm pretty damn sure that she was using powers, too. Also, she knew how to destroy this new version--I've never seen a type of Heartless who had to be defeated with a specific type of blow before. She knew what to do, though, almost as if she'd fought them before. No--exactly as if she'd fought them before. Her friend saw us too, the one with the orange hair... but I don't know how he's connected to the situation. I need to find out what she knows and how she fits into all this, but I think that right after her ex-boyfriend's death is not the best time to go around demanding answers. Still. She knows things, things that could put us in danger. I need to find a way to talk to her soon, about both this and the Archer situation.

I haven't seen him in person since that post. I still have no idea what he's going to do. Maybe it's a plot, just something to keep me guessing, keep me on the edge of my seat... but somehow, I don't think so. That's not like him. He's a bastard, but he's direct about it. Or is he? That's how he acted when he was being controlled by vampiric blood, but now that he's cured, do I even know him at all? I can't tell how much of him is real and how much is contrived. I wonder if he can, either. Does he even know who he is now? Does he ever dream about it? Does he ever wonder?
He has been particularly loud the last few days. Ever since we fought the Heartless, in fact. Yesterday I couldn't take it any more; I didn't come home from work when I was done, just went for a walk. I wound up back in the alley. I don't even know how; instinct, I guess? Weird but true. I think I fought him, but not in any way I have before. I don't know; it's hard to remember. Everything's a little hazy. I was lying in some nasty puddle when I came to, and it was almost three in the morning, but he's been quieter since then. It was worth it, I guess, whatever happened. I don't think I woke Sora up when I came home, but I fell asleep so quickly that I really have no idea. He could've gotten up and paraded elephants through the house and I doubt I would have woken up. I barely got up in time for school today as it is.
Suddenly everything at school seems less important, though I know I still have to pass to keep our access to the people here open. I need to talk to Yuuko--alone. The Heartless are a big deal, and we obviously can't leave until they're gone, but I know we have to get home soon--now more than ever. Sora still won't even consider letting me try to get us back, but we have to do something. I'm worried about what Archer will do, worried about what he will do if we stay here much longer. If I stay here much longer. Or maybe only if Sora stays here much longer. I think... I think that if I knew he was going to be okay, and that he was going to take care of her like he promised, I could stay here.
It wouldn't matter what they did to me then, anyway.
